<u>Answer:</u> The balanced half reaction is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

When bromine gas is reduced to bromide ions, the number of electron transferred are 2

The chemical equation for the reduction of bromine gas to bromide ions follows:

$Br_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2Br^{-}$

Hence, the balanced half reaction is written above.

Is a forward or reverse reaction favored?

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) $CH_3COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-+ H^+$ : reverse reaction is favored.

(b) $AgCl \rightleftharpoons Ag^+ + Cl^-$ : reverse reaction is favored.

(d) $A+B\rightleftharpoons C$ : forward reaction is favored.

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) $CH_3COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-+ H^+$ :

In this case, since the Ka is lower than 1, we infer the reverse reaction is favored since the reactant (acetic acid) will tend to have a higher concentration.

(b) $AgCl \rightleftharpoons Ag^+ + Cl^-$ :

In this case, since the Ka is lower than 1, we infer the reverse reaction is favored since the reactant (silver chloride) will tend to have a higher concentration.

In this case, since the Ka is lower than 1, we infer the reverse reaction is favored since the reactant (aluminium hydroxide) will tend to have a higher concentration.

(d) $A+B\rightleftharpoons C$

In this case, since the Ka is greater than 1, we infer the forward reaction is favored since the product (C) will tend to have a higher concentration.

Regards.
